Supernatural, like so many successful shows before it, starts with a simple concept. When their father goes missing, two brothers--Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) Winchester--head off across the country to try and find him. But their journey isn’t easy, especially when you consider the assortment of spirits and nightmarish creatures that stand in their path.
On paper, that sounds a derivative mix of many shows that have gone before it. And to some extent, that’s what Supernatural is, yet its mix is nonetheless compelling. What lifts it above the norm is the quality both of the writing, and crucially, the direction of the show. There are moments that are spooky, and some that are downright scary, with plenty of suspense linking the two. And while the 22 episodes have their fair share of peaks and troughs, Supernatural has an edge about it that easily carries it through its slower points.
At the heart of the show, ironic considering the number of other programmes it tips its hat to, is a desire to do things its own way, and for that reason, come Supernatural’s maiden season finale, it leaves a real thirst for more episodes. Fortunately, the second season is already in the can, and we suspect it’ll continue to grow the number of fans that Supernatural is rightly earning for itself. --Jon Foster

but it's let down by the lack of special features. Again and again this happens: we get the show without the features that the US fans get. It's a small complaint, maybe, but it does detract from the boxset. It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and it's hard to ignore, hence the four stars, rather than the five it deserves.
Overall though, this show is, as I have stated in the title, incredible. Brilliant acting, dramatic storylines and genuinely frightning monsters combine to make it one of the most involving shows in the past few years. The episode 'Bloody Mary' frightened me so much I couldn't sleep that night. Or it could have been down to the exam I had the next day.
Either way, though, this show is not to be missed. It might not shock the hard-core horror fans, but the talented Padalecki and Ackles make it much more than just a worthwhile investment. If only it wasn't so underrated.

"Supernatural" is just outstanding!A mixture of comedic moments along with darker and more emotional subject matters-the show goes from strength to strength!Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki's relationship as brothers is undeniably realistic, a credit to their acting abilities! I love the change in character of both brothers and the ongoing plot in both seasons is kept up with surprising power! Shocks, horror and disaster combined with twists and jokes makes this a must see show!If you loved Angel or Buffy then this is a definite....1000x better, faster, intense and full-proof storyline! Absolutely ace!

I absolutely love this show, and so happy that the first season has finally been re-released on blu-ray!
The first season keeps it different, with a different monster each week. Only taking a couple of episodes this season to explain the mythology that has run throughout the whole series. It's great revisiting the early episodes.
The best part of having the first season being released on blu-ray, is finally having access to all the extras from the US release, as well as a few more great additional stuff. The biggest addition is the Road Map, something that appeared on the season 2 dvd.
The Road Map has interviews about the each episode's creation, running about 5-10mins each. Interviewing key members from the production. You can also toggle to read up on some of the folklore on each episode, as well as read 6 passages from the Dad's Journal.
Another big addition on Disc 3, is the Paley Festival Panel Discussion which runs at over an hour! This is a great Q&A, which is only hindered by a very boring and wooden interviewer. If you can get past him, you get really good information about the creation and running of the show.
Getting too used to other shows has made it annoying that there are too few episodes with audio commentaries. But the road map makes up for that a little, though not everything you want to see covered may not be explained.
Show: 10/10
Extras: 7/10
Video: 10/10
Audio: 10/10
This isn't a big thing, but the blu-ray was posted without a slip cover to match the other season releases (seasons 3-5 have a slip cover, I don't know about season 2).
